Improvisational Acting, Story-telling and Laughter
(Online registration: class is in the Personal Enrichment category) The focus of this class is to have fun expressing yourself through performance art, and to laugh as much as possible, in a safe and supportive environment. This is your time to let go of worries and inhibitions, and practice the art of being silly and exploring your imagination. This class is based on acting techniques used in Second City, the "Ivy League" of Comedy School, but the goal is to live in the moment, as joyfully as possible. Some say that laughter is the "best medicine." Wear comfortable clothes, a smile, and an open mind, on the first day of class! www.susanlouiephotos.com (Limited to 15 students) (Ten classes starting Sep 14)
